A Few Ids

I got these plants yesterday as clippings from my LFS and would like to know what they are if anybody knows:


Its the red color one and the ferny one which is what I got when I asked for Java Fern. It doesnt look like the Java Ferns in my other tank....I know the name started with a W but it was a weird name so I have forgotten

And this one:

thanks

Ok thanks.

I knew it was some type of Java fern. It just looks alot different from the java fern I have in my other tank. The leaves are thicker and sturdier and longer and pointier. I guess there is lots of different varities of Ferns. I was just wondering if anyone knew wut kind it was.

Heres my other Java Fern with tons of babys attached but as u can see it looks alot different then my new one.

OLD:

NEW:

The one on the left of the fist pic is Rotala macrandra - difficult plant that only grows well in high light and CO2.

Second pic is Bacopa carolina, very easy slow growing plant.

the fern and red plant are in my Bettas 6 gallon eclipse with a "natural daylight F8 flourescent T5" bulb. I know redish plants usualy require high light and c02 like you said but I'm not concered about them growing really I just want them to stay alive

I add flourish excel but i doubt if that will make a differece.

Yeah, the Rotala macrandra will most likely just lose it's red colour and waste it'sstored energy on growing long to reach the light. Eventually it will attract algae or just rot.

It is one of the most demanding plants .

I want to try it, but by time I get to the LFS, it's always looking very bashed up and some leaves are mushy .

Damn that sucks... I just had to pick the most demanding plant lol. Oh well it was only $2.99 for about 12 clippings that I divided into 2 groups. The red does look really nice against my black sand, so I hope it can stick around for a bit. It also looks super healthy with no brown or rotting/mushy leaves at all so I hope it has a small chance at survival

Thanks for all your help.
